Thought this looked an interesting challenge to get involved in so am gunna jump in. And since I've already been keeping track of all my reading this year I'm going to set a retroactive start date of January. Where I've got a review up on goodreads will link to that instead of the book.

Am only including fiction and won’t be counting any rereads here, new books only.

*Carter, Angela The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories

E
*Feilding, Henry Tom Jones
*Gibbs, Abigail Dinner With a Vampire
*Hobb, Robin Assassin's Apprentice

I have books already lined up for a lot of the letters. But any recomendations for any of the harder letters - especially Y, Q - would be great.

I like your idea of putting a * next to authors you haven't read before. Good luck with the a-z challenge. I just started too, but am not going back over the books read this year.

Thanks. Good luck with yours too!

Am kinda surprised just how many of my reads this year have been new-to-me author's actually. Feeling quite happy about that.

There are so many great books and authors out there, it's just a matter of finding them :)

X - Xinran always good Louise

Thanks, might check that out :)

And just finished my first Catherynne M. Valente for V: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. Absolutely loved it. Will have to check out a couple of her other books before I can officially claim her as one of my favourite authors though.

Picking up my first T book from the library a little later.

For Y, I'm currently reading and am really enjoying.

Ooooh, that looks really interesting. Shall definitely keep it in mind when I get to Y :)

Finished it last night - 4 stars from the hard to please Liverpool jury. And it's only 99p on kindle at the mo'.

And one more letter down! T - for Tolstoy. Was a slog but I really enjoyed most of it.
